Pizza Party.

Author: Allie H.

I have been focusing on my diet and trying to keep it healthy. Giving up soda has been a huge struggle, but I have managed to substitute for water and tea 90% of the time. One thing I just can’t fathom giving up is pizza, so here is my healthy alternative:
Try it! It’s DELICIOUS, and healthy!

Spinach-Mushroom Pizza
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients
1 12-ounce whole wheat pizza crust, such as Boboli
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1/4 cup small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta
6 medium mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Spread the crust out on a heavy baking sheet. Cover the crust with the pizza sauce, followed by the spinach and onion. Then add the Parmesan, ricotta, mozzarella and mushrooms on top. To finish, drizzle the olive oil over the entire pizza.
3. Bake for 10 minutes or until the crust is puffed, beginning to color at the edges and the cheese is melted.
4. Let the pizza cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the balsamic vinegar, slice into wedges, and serve.
